I’m sorry for the local affiliate’s problems. (A college classmate of mine runs the Triangle chapter, and she’s a cancer survivor herself.) But I’ve got nothing but contempt for the national organization. They lied serially, committing the kind of breach of trust that no nonprofit should survive. They failed to realize, among many other things, that 1) people don’t like being treated like they’re stupid, and 2) there are plenty of other cancer charities to which people can give money.
